One word: Sick!
And I was foolish enough to think that SLI/Crossfire was the peak of idiocrazy in 3D card world, but now this! |

Four of everything......
Insane, and expensive, but neat that it works. I wonder if quad crossfire is anything close to even 3x the performance of one card, I think it counts as a win if they can hit 3x or above with good drivers and such. |

Are you going to be able to run quad xfire with an intel platform??? There are not to many amd boards out there that support crossfire funny enough. I wonder if amd are keeping the quad crossfire to their own chipsets???
Any one know????

This is how I read this:
The AMD CPUs are not performing competitively enough against Intel. The Intel's are pwning them in the benchmarks. The ONLY SOLUTION FOR AMD is to stick 4 GPUs into the PC to win the benchmark crown. Aint going to help Super-pi though.

The only problem with that is horrific cpu limitation.

Wow, that's a... that's a lot of video cards.
I wonder -- do you just hook them up with 3 regular Xfire connections, or do you need a special longer one (like it looks like they have in the picture)?

WOAH... i really want this, then i can use onboard sound(or AMD's crappy gfx card onboard sound)
. MAYBE with the 2xR670s this would be an awesome platform, but you wouldnt have that, since 2xR670s come with dual slot coolers. This is a nice idea for a folding machine or a workstation tho...  @ no spiders or ghouls on the box - awesome.

And yet not a single benchmark to show for
Does that setup even beat a QX6850 with 2 x 8800Ultra SLI ?
